Origins

The Malebranche threaten Virgil and Dante, portrayed by Gustave Doré.

Lubicant is inspired by the demon Rubicante who appears in Inferno of Dante's Divine Comedy. In the poem, he is part of a demonic troop called Malebranche, who guard the fifth bolgia of Malebolge. The Malebolge is found in the eighth circle of Hell, Fraud, where corrupt politicians are immersed in burning pitch.

Description

A demon with a stabbing pitchfork attack. Despite having a similar behavior than Cagnazzo and Skull Millione, he has neither the ability to inflict Poison, nor the ability to inflict Curse. Unlike those other enemies, Lubicant's attack power depends on the player's defense boost and max HP. As a result, his attack is less affected by armor than the other enemies.

Soul

Lubicant's soul, Berserker, is unique; while equipped, the player's stats increase while their health decreases. Some players, as a speed-running tactic in Boss Rush Mode, may drink spoiled milk so as to be left with only 1 HP, and storm through the bosses using a powerful weapon, such as the Claimh Solais.
